'Hit and Run'

HIT AND RUN ★★★ OUT OF FOUR STARS

"Hit and Run," starring real-life couple Dax Shepard and Kristin Bell, checks all the boxes for summer escapism: hot cars, hotter women, highway hooliganism, a hell-raising hero, hapless cops, hilarious villains, no plot and no apologies. The film boasts slumming stars in odd, juicy roles, with Kristin Chenoweth, Beau Bridges and Sean Hayes in pleasingly eccentric turns. If you miss those "Cannonball Run" days of the 1970s, your film has arrived. (Rating: R.) COLIN COVERT

2016: OBAMA's america ★★ out of four stars

Dinesh D'Souza -- the author of the best seller "The Roots of Obama's Rage" and a former American Enterprise Institute fellow -- is not a fan of President Obama. This strident documentary, co-directed with John Sullivan, asserts that Obama pursues his father's left-leaning, "anticolonial" ideals. D'Souza revives figures tied to Obama by conservative critics in the last election, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Eventually, we see blunt imagery like Ben Franklin's face on a burning $100 bill and a shot of the Statue of Liberty. Not interviewed are Obama's supporters, but this isn't that kind of documentary.
